A Correction.

EDITORS HERALD I'm your issue OF
yesterday appeared an item in regard
to a ripple in the social circles OF
Azusa which / must state is a false
perversion of facts, and which injus-
tice to myself and onr present Water
Oyerseer Parker wish to controvert
Captain Waugh is not the Zanjero of
the Azusa Water District as stated ;
neither did any two of the three
Azusa Water Commissioners authorize
Captain Vaughn to turn from the
present bitches, as stated, any water
into the cement ditch, better known as
the Phillips Enterprise. On the con-
trary, he and an associate boasted
they were going to take our water re-
gardless of consequences. They failed
to accomplish their purpose by the
unexpected and timely presence of
our efficient Water Overseer (Parker.)
The only ripple in our social circle is
that Captain Vaughn is prominent
stockholder in a gigantic corporation
VINO pTOpOSt W SOuoiO uP ehC ""ocAD
of the San Gabriel river for specnla-
tive purposes. 1t is well known that
all the flow from its source has been
appropriated, and is now in use by the
localities composing the Duarte, the
towns of Axusa, Gladstone and the
beautiful valley of the Azusa. And l
cannot believe that with such valua-
BILE improvements as are dependent
on our present water supply they will
be cast a ready sacrifice to any corpo-
ration such as Captain Vaughn repre-
sents without protest in some form
from those whose valuable improve
ments and beautiful homes are de-
pendent upon our present water facili-
ties.

Commissioners.
The HERALD gives the above place,
as it did the previous item, merely as
news, and has this to say that it does
not pretend to decide the merits OF the
case.

to have witnessed, and a feeling
of terror has been inspired il

now that the place has fallen into good
hands and been repaired and adorned

wEsTPoRT's GOBLIN HOME.
In the town Of Westport, sixty years
ago, one Stephen Hartford, wealthy
farmer, built fine house near his own,
expecting some one of his daughters
of whom he had four-would marry and
occupyit. Only one of them did So
the youngest-after a courtship of
nearly thirty years. She became the
wife of William Brinkerhotf, now de-
ceased, Of New York, and making her
residence in that city the house con-
tinued 10 stand empty, the three elder
daughters remaining at the homestead.
During the thirty-five years that the
house had no occupants stories were
circulated that ghosts made their dwell
ling there, and as it stood apart from
other houses and in a lonely part of the
town, near tracts of woodland, there
were ready believers. According to
these stories, every night ghosts would
hold high carnival in the upper rooms
and garnet. The reason given for such
visits was an alleged murder on the
premises, coupled with the story
that the body of the deceased
had been concealed between the
floors and plastering. Moss grew on
roofs and cobwebs covered the window
panesSfor none had courage to enter
and remove them, the sisters, who were
part owners after the death of their
father. showing a similar weakness.
The tendency of these demonstrations
was to keep everybody at distance,
and although the younger sister has for
twenty years residedm the house, the
feeling of fear springs up Involuntary
whenever the premises are passed. |
This sister declares she has never had |
the least disturbance Dy night or day, |
and the fact that she remains there |
alone year by year is evidence that the
stories about haunting, of ghosts and |
hobgoblins had no ground of truth to |
support them.-NeW York Herald.

HAUNTED HOUSES,

BRIDGEPoRT, December 25.-In these
days of scientific development and the
exercise of common sense, most people
hold that there are some who seem to
be allowing. superstitious thoughts to
get the better of their sober judgment.
In the town of Stratford, since the muir
der Of Rose Amber. three years ago
and the mysteries surrounding that
dark tragedy are likely never to be
revealed-this appears to be peculi--
arly the case. Citizens there have
had their minds so exercised by
alleged nocturnal demonstrations
in dwelling built by one Jonathan
Riggs, and standing near the residence
of William Lewis who is b J eyed to have
been the las per,on to see the murdered
young woman alive, that they have
come to the conclusion that ghosts and
hobgoblins exist, and that visitors from
the spirit world actually appear on this
earth to poster its inhabitants. For
nearly three years this building, which
is small tWostory frame affair, has
been occupied by no less than a dozen
different families. each being compelled
w uISubly uioGU1 w QUlI duu
seek abiding places elsewhere. The first
family making complaint alleged that
at dead of night regularly sounds
as of feet in heavy boots were
heard in the cellar. Repairing to that
locality, nothing likely to cause the
sounds could be seen, but while there
the same sounds were heard in the gar
ret. Ascending to tie garnet, the
sounds were again heard in the cellar.
Doors securely fastened at night, were
found loosened and swinging on their
hinges l. the morning. Persons pass
ing the house at late hours, aIlege that
they have seen spirit faces at the upper
windows making hideous grimaces, and
one man declares he discerned a spirit
form dancing on the ridge board, and
out of the chimney top he had seen
spirit arms gesticulating.

BELLS RUkG WITHOUT HANDS.

On one occasion few months ago a
family were frightened by the tinkling
of bell in the closet Of an upper room,
and while seeking the cause were
startled by sounds on the roof as of
bed some of the recent occupants have
heard groans in an adjoining apartment
as of some persons in distress. So
notorious has the house beeome that
timid people, especially ladies, dare not
pass it at night unattended.
